Becoming a Confident Mother

Friday night was the end of The Confident Mother Conference – I still have a lot to catch up on and a lot to blog but I’ll carry on working my way through the listening again and share my thoughts as appropriate. I was looking for a photo to sum up the conference and found this one which I thought that Sherry would approve of – it’s the finish of the conference but the start of the rest of the year.

So in the last session Sherry shared her wish to be able to wave a magic wand and make us all confident but appreciated that this isn’t really possible so instead gave us five (and a bonus) tips to help us become more confident.

Get clarity / vision / knowing what you want – you can’t work towards a goal if you don’t know what it is

Know what your skills and strengths are and understand your core values

Look after yourself – take time to recharge batteries, eat well, exercise

Push yourself out of the comfort zone – feel the fear and do it anyway

Don’t try to be perfect – it’s impossible and sets yourself up for failure – forgive yourself for mistakes
